Our Community Care team are described as “leaders in their field”, with client testimonials acknowledging that they “know the law inside out” and are “dedicated to all their cases in equal measure, regardless of value”, noting that the team are “always quick to respond and support”. Cate Searle is described as “an expert in public funding for health and social care”, with particular mention of her work representing clients in Court of Protection proceedings, and “providing expert evidence for complex and often compromised compensation claims”.
Clare English is once again singled out for her “niche expertise in obtaining reimbursements for the estates of people who have been wrongly charged for care”.
Our Employment Law team are also praised, with particular mention for their “numerous employment campaigns on topics including disability, sexual harassment and discrimination”. Fiona Martin is described as “extremely knowledgeable and experienced”, whilst Laura Donnelly is praised for her expert professional training sessions on a variety of subjects, including pregnancy and maternity discrimination and restructuring.
Christine Gannon is praised for her “clear and useful guidance” and for her “approachable, knowledgeable and honest” approach which “reassures organisations in their decision-making”.
Work highlights include Christine representing “a client in a claim of Unfair Dismissal and Disability Discrimination relating to Autism, and achieved a substantial settlement” of £850,000. Please see her case here.
We are proud that our campaigning and community engagement work is recognised, with one of our stakeholder’s praising the firm as “unique” in our “approach to community engagement and understanding the needs of local communities”. They describe how our team “gives their time and expertise freely” to support local community groups and charities to strengthen their practices.
Fiona Martin said “It is wonderful to see that the hard work and expertise of both of our teams has been recognised once again by the Legal 500. Making a difference is at the heart of everything that we do and we are proud that our staff have been praised for their outstanding legal expertise and their dedication to supporting our community. Next year we celebrate 21 years in business and we are working towards handing over our business to our employees as an Employee Ownership Trust to maintain the integrity of our firm. Being recognised as a leading firm by the Legal 500 makes us very proud about what we and our colleagues have accomplished over this time. “
